Ratio is the quantitative relation between two numbers such that it shows the number of times one value is over/within the other number.

Final presentation of ratio needs to be:

1. integer

2. simplest form.

Question:

\dfrac{5}{6} :  \dfrac{3}{8}

Multiply both sides by 6:

\dfrac{5}{6}  \times 6:  \dfrac{3}{8} \times 6

5 :  \dfrac{18}{8}

Multiply both sides by 8:

5  \times 8:  \dfrac{18}{8} \times 8

40 :  18

Simplify by dividing by 2:

40 \div 2 : 18 \div 2

20 : 9

Answer: 20 : 9
